The lawsuit accuses Tesla of "intrusion upon seclusion" for the alleged invasion of privacy in customers' homes and vehicles, negligence, breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation, intentional misrepresentation, and unjust enrichment. The lawsuit seeks compensatory and punitive damages in an amount to be determined at trial, and injunctions "compelling Tesla's cessation of recording, viewing, and sharing videos and images in violation of state law, and destruction of all personal data obtained in violation of state law."

Tesla Faces Class-Action Lawsuit Over Privacy Intrusion Allegations.

Tesla is facing a potential class-action lawsuit over allegations that its employees violated customers' privacy by sharing videos and images from Tesla car cameras. The lawsuit was filed by a San Francisco resident who owns a Tesla Model Y, alleging that Tesla employees accessed and shared the images and videos for their "tasteless and tortious entertainment." The prospective class would include people who owned or leased a Tesla in the last four years. The allegations were based on interviews with multiple anonymous former employees of the carmaker who claimed that Tesla employees shared highly invasive videos and images recorded by customers' car cameras between 2019 and 2022.
